Mercury Marine has announced a brand-new addition to their line of engines. the 40hp and 60hp versions of their SeaPro four-stroke engines are designed to provide longer engine life and maintain power and performance. They’re built for “high-hour” applications and to withstand harsh saltwater environments.
The engines will be available worldwide in mid-2016. Mercury’s SeaPro engine line is lightweight with high displacement, perform according to the demands of commercial customers, and are rated at three times more durable than comparable recreational engines. They also feature several improvements to increase that durability and reliability, including a commercial grade fuel pump, flywheel magnet retainer, more durable upper mounts, stainless steel thermostat, and an improved gas assist trim cylinder (on select models).
“Mercury’s latest SeaPro FourStroke outboard engine introduction enhances Mercury’s commitment to developing the most durable, most reliable four-stroke outboards for commercial applications,” says Marty Bass, vice president of Mercury category management. “With SeaPro we have not simply re-calibrated our existing product, we have made upgrades to enhance durability and performance and then tested those upgrades to withstand the harshest environments. Additionally, these engines are designed to be easy to maintain and deliver the outstanding fuel economy that is inherent to four-stroke technology.”
